Best schools for Data Science in Finance?

Hey everyone, I am a graduate from a non-target undergrad in Armenia ( BA in Business (Econ Track), 3.9 GPA, Best Capstone Award, 760 GMAT, Clubs and all the good stuff). I have been working for the past year at a no-name consulting firm but also have a few relevant internships in my resume. I am proficient in R programming language and want to learn Python and get into machine learning. I am also planning on doing the first two levels of the CFA program. I was wondering whether there are data science programs in top US Schools that focus on the intersection of data science and Finance. Is this something worthwhile to pursue in terms of future employment opportunities? If so, which schools would you recommend? Thanks a lot.
